Well, here is the rundown. I am trying to make Zalo's mini dummy gib into two of itself, but I am having some trouble doing so. I added a gib to the head, and it looks like this:



Basically, I can't figure out what to set AddGib and GibParticle equal to. Please help, because I want a wave of lag to crush my enemies as soon as possible.

EDIT: I also want to mention that the lines are properly indented in the actual ini file, but I can't get them to show up right on the forums.

I think those are fine, did you try running it?
Maybe the problem is in another thing. Did you define the mini-dummy before?
Because if you are inserting it the first time you define it it won't work.

I tried running it, and it refuses to comply. I don't I have defined the mini dummy yet, though. How does one do that?

Well, simply define it. Like defining the actor, you know.
Defining every of it's parts (arms, head, legs, other attachables), then AddActor = AHuman and all that things.

After you define it, you can make a CopyOf of it and in the end add AddGib = Gib and all the thing about the MiniDummy you defined first.

So, it would be something like this:

Is recursive gibbing even possible? I didn't think that you could have an object gib into itself.

You have to completely redefine the actor a second time, this time using itself as a gib. It is fully possible and isn't that hard once you get the hang of it.

Is it not possible to use lua to create an instance of itself as well?

The .ini method works just as well and is probably less laggy.

Ok, thank you guys. Huge help! I hadn't defined a new AHuman to use as a gib (ie. mini dummy "gib"). I was just trying to make the gib a copy of the normal "mini dummy". Thanks again!

I got it working, so now I need to work on the spread and count. I need to get that "wave" effect.

And if you make it gib into an AEmitter that emits Mini Dummies at different speeds?
That can make it look wavy.

I meant getting the mass of becoming a wave, but that sounds like it would work better. I am now wrestling with the problem of the mini dummies that gib from the original, because they don't gib into their own mini dummies. I got the "second generation" to gib into more, but the "third generation" didn't gib into more. It seems that, unless I utilize AEmitters, I would have to add a separate gib into each generation of gibs.

You have to define them a lot of times and repeat the process you did the first time to make more "generations" gib.

Or you could use luamajiggers to do the thingamajigger.

I can't use these "lua" incantations you speak of. Their magic level is beyond my grasp.
